Video/Sound Library

Does anyone know of a cross platform (Windows/Linux) video/sound library, preferable an open source one (as I don’t want to have to pay any type of license fees)? And if there isn’t any decent cross platform ones, I will also take suggestions on specific platform ones as well. If I have to use two different ones for each platform I can just bridge them together.

Re: Video/Sound Library

I don't know of any cross-platform ones off the top of my head, but I do know there is a audio/video library built into WIN32 API. If you would like I could send you some example code.

Well I am going to be using WXWidgets... If I could avoid using WIN32 API that would be for the best.

Re: Video/Sound Library

You can use libtheora and libvorbis for video and sound i.e. OpenAL is also a good cross-platform sound playback library.

Re: Video/Sound Library

Avoiding Win32 api has no sense.
99.99% of client computers in customers are under Windows !
Linux is only used for servers (and in rare cases)

Re: Video/Sound Library

Stephen, those stats are completely wrong, if you are just going to make shit up please go somewhere else. Stats aside, supporting Linux is a requirement so I would prefer a cross-platform library if possible. Thanks Klarre, I will look into those.

I dunno, King, he might be right. After all, he said 'computers in customers', and maybe he has more experience with cybernetic implants than we do.

Re: Video/Sound Library

Thanks for point that out lectricpharaoh, I read his comment wrong lol. I have to say though, if I were to get a Cybernetic implant, I would definitely go with a Linux no matter what the stats say!

No telling what having to reboot in the middle of a 200 foot jump might do.
